Restaurants

Hugo’s Restaurant

8401 Santa Monica Boulevard, West Hollywood

Top Pet-friendly Venues in LA - Hugo's Restaurant

Hugo’s Restaurant was built on founder Terry Kaplan's vision which included “a kitchen producing original and wonderful foods found nowhere else” and "a compelling and exciting thought...to have a family of co-workers who cared for each other in a genuine way. They would experience support, respect and feelings of well-being. That would be the true heart and soul, the inspiring element" of Hugo's.

“West Hollywood has always been a very dog-friendly neighborhood, so we provided an entrance to our outdoor patio just for dogs. Water in a plastic container can be provided by a server if the owner requests. The drought in California affects all our guests.”

This trendy brunch spot in Silver Lake features classic breakfast and lunch meals, with a modern twist. You’ll find everything from pasta, to a cooked breakfast and even desserts, with vegetarian, vegan and gluten free diets catered for.

Dogs are more than welcome on the outdoor patio, so much so that Sqirl has an instagram account, @dogsofsqirl, dedicated to all the wonderful pooches that make their way to the restaurant with their owners.

“Redefining the urban neighborhood eatery with a handcrafted yet refined touch, the menu spotlights sweet and savory pastries, house-made ingredients, new classics for breakfast and brunch, and market-driven sandwiches, salads and soups.

“The urban yet organic atmosphere recalls the building’s past life as an iconic 1950s print shop. With a focus on restoration, the décor mixes raw and industrial details, from original brick walls to exposed wood beams, with an intimate outdoor courtyard framed by a colorful expanse of interwoven iron triangles, made by local artist Mark Kaplan. The Sycamore Kitchen has a dog friendly patio.”
